1. Cut frenemies and toxic friends from your life. Your time is gold: share it with members of your mutual admiration society, not backstabbers or energy suckers.

2. Get your beauty sleep. The average woman needs seven to nine hours of sleep each night. You'll know what's right for you because you'll wake refreshed, not exhausted or sluggish.

3. Cut your risk of breast cancer by limiting alcohol to a drink a day – or less.

4. Crave sour candy? Save some calories – and your teeth – by munching on a juicy peach or handful of tart cherries instead.

5. Book that Pap smear. Regular Pap smears help prevent cervical cancer.

6. Reward yourself for #5 by buying a distracting magazine to read in the waiting room (so you're not stuck with a "news" magazine from 2003!)

7. Work out at least four hours a week to help maintain a healthy weight and to reduce your risk of breast cancer.

8. Quit hanging out with smokers on your work break. Secondhand smoke kills, too. Limit face time with your favourite colleagues to nicotine-free contexts.

9. Are you a smoker? Start researching ways to quit today.

10. Is the sun shining today? Walk a couple stops before getting onto public transit during your commute. Or get off earlier for a leisurely stroll home. If you don't take public transit to work, fit in a walk on your lunch hour. You'll feel refreshed and shed some pounds.
